Abstract
In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful for identifying an object using radiopaque ink. In some embodiments, a system for identifying an object comprises an object having an identifying marking formed of a radiopaque ink comprising a polymer matrix having an average molecular weight of about 1,000 g/mol to about 50,000 g/mol, and a radiopaque compound comprising one or more elements having an atomic number of 53 or greater dispersed within the polymer matrix. A control circuit causes a radiographic imaging device to irradiate the object, receives from the radiographic imaging device image data associated with the object, processes the image data to generate an x-ray image showing the identifying marking of the object, causes a display device to display the x-ray image showing the identifying marking of the object, and identifies the object based on the identifying marking of the object shown in the x-ray image.
